From Israel Mbam

In keeping to his promise to unite and build peace among his constituents, the member representing Ezza South/Ikwo Federal Constituency in House of Reps Abuja, Hon Chinedu Ogah has again sued for peaceful resolution of the dispute between Ohankwu Ndufu Alike and their neighboring Amana people of Ezza South over the true owners of mining site in the area.

Speaking when he led a high powered delegation on a peace meeting with stakeholders of the two villages, the federal lawmaker assured the people of his readiness to enthrone peace in all parts of his constituency, adding that development does not strive in an atmosphere of rancour and violence.

Comrade Ogah who advised the two villages to allow peace reign by cooperating with the committee set to look into their matter, also frowned at the action of Amana Stakeholders and youth leaders who boycotted the Peace meeting. He however called on the two parties to strictly obey the state government directives not to enter the said portion of land in contention, pending final resolution of the issues.

Ogah further advised them to see themselves as one people, appreciate God's gift in their land rather than allow those sponsoring crises among them to succeed.
